An Appeal for Prayer and Fasting
This coming Saturday December 15, an event of colossal historical proportions for Ukraine is taking place at the Saint Sophia - Ukraine’s key spiritual historical complex. This is the Sobor called by Patriarch Bartholomew for the formation of an autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Such historic moments are pregnant with opportunity and risk. We invite you to join in an intercessory effort of prayer and fasting for the fulfillment of God’s will in the first instance and for the protection of all participants from demonic attacks and provocations from the opponents. Furthermore, let us pray and fast that the participating bishops, monastics and lay members be filled with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit as they make challenging decisions.
Please pray and fast, as your heart leads, during this week and on Friday in particular.
In Christ,
Yaroslaw Lozowchuk

Great Martyr Barbara at Heliopolis, in Syria
Barbara (we commemorate her on December 4, which is December 17 on the Gregorian Calendar) lived and suffered during the reign of the Roman emperor Maximian (305-311). Her father, Dioscorus, was a wealthy man in the Syrian city of Heliopolis (literally “the city of the sun”). After the death of his wife, he devoted himself to his only daughter, who was so lovely that he decided to protect her by hiding her in a tower, where only her teachers could come to see her. But the maiden was not alone for the Holy Spirit was leading her, through her view of the beauties of creation – which she could only enjoy by seeing it, to ask questions about the Creator of such a wonderful world.

St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia
On December 19 on the Gregorian Calendar (which is December 6 on the Julian) we celebrate the memory of one of the most popular of Saints – whose representatives we so often see in this Advent season in the form of “Santa Claus”. It is St. Nicholas whose name means “the victory of the people”.
